My experience of fainting is that you usually know it. (I have this charming thing where I get hot and dizzy, followed by my vision closing down like a television screen as it's being turned off. And then, on the floor! Luckily, I have not done this recently.)

Abducted by aliens, that's a little more ambiguous. Blow-darted by secret operatives determined to recruit you into their nefarious army, harder to say.

Have you had breakfast?

Nah, but thanks, Lori. I'm mostly fine now. I'm just waiting to see if the pain in the back of my head and the back of my shoulder is because I hit them as I fell, or just muscular tightness.

I cancelled my personal training session, and I'm going to go lie down now. On purpose.

As opposed to heading to the kitchen, things becoming grey, and waking up (I mean, there was coming out of dream state and everything) on the floor.

Last time this happened it was after a marathon migraine session, I do recall. At least I already have a neurologist's appointment set up.

Stoopid, stoopid body.

Or maybe it's an averages things. When it is good, it's very very good, but when it is bad it is horrid.

My experience of fainting is that you usually know it.

Not according to my last doctor's visit for fainting. It's not fainting if you don't lose consciousness. It's just falling down. You can get positional ... somethingorother that makes you dizzy and your vision go blank, you fall, but not faint. It's very hard for you yourself to tell if you've lost consciousness. I do think the movie I'd been watching had moved on quite a bit, but that could have been dozing, not out like a light stuff.

I have eaten some, and was going to get more. I should do that before I lie down again, huh?

Are we going to have to install padded floors for you? Go eat, then go lie down.

Timelies all!

I kinda enjoy the Harris books, though I'm afraid they're starting to fall into the too-much-romance-and/or-romantic-angst catagory a few mystery series are in. Still, if the show will be on HBO, I won't get to see it until it's on DVD.

Still in my nightgown here. At some point I will shower, dress and go to a non-moving moving party.(the hosts changed addresses by building a driveway on a different side of their house)

Floors are the easy bit. Judging by some of the stuff that used to be on my file cabinet, I may have bounced off that on the way down.

ita, good god. When is the neurologist appt.?

a non-moving moving party

I wonder if Miss Manners would have you bring a gift...

When is the neurologist appt.?

November 10th.

Eeek, ita. Eat something, lie down. I've had intense dizzy spells where I've had to grab stuff for support as my vision went black around the edges, but never anything worse (yet).

(edited because like and lie aren't the same words.)

Don't you have some sort of kravy padded headgear? Mebbe you should wear that around the house.
